We've talked about Grichuk before - but didn't he have a lingering thumb injury or something last year that hampered his offense? As he proved in 2016, he only needs to post a wRC+ of 100-110 to be a valuable starting OFer. At age 26, we can certainly hope the best is yet to come.

Royals losing Hosmer might be our only hope for any team to take Morales for less than eating 50% of his salary and still think everyone would pass.

Could be. I think I'd dump him or Pearce. The 6 mil or so we'd get in moving either of them could be used to invest in the bullpen. Might be tough to find a taker for either though. I don't think either is that bad but I don't think either of them are better players than Teoscar Hernandez at this point.

I think a platoon of Pearce/Granderson is potentially better the Teoscar. This way Pearce is limited and hopefully can keep him off the DL.

It could be better than Teoscar. Is it 12 million dollars better than him? I don't think so. And Teoscar/Granderson is better anyway. I actually really like Teoscar and Grichuk. Power bats who can field. With adjustments they could become very good players.

I saw enough from Pearce to know that he just cannot play the OF at all. He looked like Adam Lind out there. I think if they dealt Morales they could put him at DH.

Pearce is probably just the odd man out. Someone will be interested in him as lefty masher if not now or at the deadline for sure. Cut or trade Zeke. Granderson fills the only role he might have useful in.
